Although Prince Yi narrowly won a round today, the developing liquid is about to expire, making the other half of the treasure map useless even if he has it. Luo Xueer suggested that the Luo family is a family of brewers, and she would seek advice from the brewing masters at Ganlutang, perhaps finding out the brewing method for plum wine.

Now that Zong Wei was killed by Xu Chengfeng and Shen Zishan, Prince Yi hoped Luo Xueer could become the person he trusted and appreciated most after Zong Wei. Seeing Luo Xueer was so understanding, Prince Yi even took her as a concubine. The masters at Ganlutang were unable to replicate the plum wine. Luo Xueer asked the masters and learned that if Luo Ailian had tasted this wine, they might have a ninety percent chance of replicating it.

Luo Xueer came to the prison to see Shen Danqing. Having become Prince Yi's person, she further mocked Shen Danqing, and then said that as long as Shen Danqing could brew the new plum wine, she could atone for her mistakes and leave prison. Shen Danqing knew the remaining half of the treasure map was in Prince Yi's hands; she said she would rather die than brew the plum wine.

After Luo Xueer left, Shen Danqing recalled that Xu Chengfeng had deliberately mentioned the developing liquid in court, guessing that brewing the plum wine might be their only chance. Tian Hao pleaded with Lin Ge Lao to rescue Xu Chengfeng. Although Lin Ge Lao believed in Xu Chengfeng's loyalty, currently, only finding new evidence to prove Prince Yi's false accusation, or finding the other half of the treasure map, would provide an opportunity to reverse the situation.

Luo Xueer told Prince Yi that Luo Ailian was a brewing genius who knew the proportions of any wine she tasted, so replicating it was not difficult. Although Luo Xueer couldn't get Luo Ailian to cooperate in brewing the wine, Prince Yi said he had his own way to make Luo Ailian agree. Prince Yi came to the prison to find Xu Chengfeng.

Xu Chengfeng knew he couldn't leave alive, but he stated that only Shen Danqing could brew the plum wine, and she had value to Prince Yi. Xu Chengfeng didn't want Shen Danqing and Shen Zishan to be implicated by him. Prince Yi asked Xu Chengfeng to persuade Shen Danqing to brew the plum wine and also promised to spare the lives of the Shen siblings.

For Shen Danqing, Xu Chengfeng was willing to confess all his crimes before his death, so that Prince Yi would have no further worries. Prince Yi appreciated Xu Chengfeng's talent and was willing to spare his life, but he hoped Xu Chengfeng would be loyal to him in the future. However, Xu Chengfeng would rather die than betray his sovereign and live. Prince Yi arranged for Xu Chengfeng to see Shen Danqing one last time.

Shen Danqing felt guilty because her identity had caused them to be framed by Prince Yi. Xu Chengfeng did not regret being with Shen Danqing. The two poured out their hearts to each other. Xu Chengfeng told Shen Danqing that her ability to produce the developing liquid was their bargaining chip for survival. He instructed Shen Danqing to make good use of this chip.

Xu Chengfeng reluctantly kissed Shen Danqing one last time, while Shen Danqing did not know that Xu Chengfeng was saying his final farewell to her. Prince Yi took the poison with which Zong Wei had committed suicide and gave it to Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng asked Prince Yi to keep his promise and release the Shen siblings, then resolutely took the poison and died by suicide. Prince Yi witnessed Xu Chengfeng die by suicide and laughed heartily.

Lin Ge Lao learned of Xu Chengfeng's suicide out of fear of punishment and also received the confession letter left by Xu Chengfeng. In the letter, Xu Chengfeng stated that the other half of the treasure map had long been lost. Now that things had come to this, Lin Ge Lao could only return to the capital to report.

Before leaving, he hoped Prince Yi would allow Tian Hao to take away Xu Chengfeng's body and bury him on the spot. Prince Yi came wanting to take Shen Danqing away. It was at this moment that Shen Danqing learned the news of Xu Chengfeng's suicide out of fear of punishment. Shen Danqing realized that Xu Chengfeng had sacrificed himself to protect her.

She hoped to go and pay respects to Xu Chengfeng, and only then could she brew the developing liquid for Prince Yi. The next day, Shen Danqing was brought to pay respects to Xu Chengfeng. She did not expect that their reunion would be between the living and the dead. Tian Hao left Xu Chengfeng's belt for Shen Danqing as a memento. Now that the person was gone and the item remained, Shen Danqing was filled with grief.

Shen Danqing stated that although they were not married, in her heart, Xu Chengfeng was already her husband, and she vowed to avenge Xu Chengfeng. Prince Yi threatened Shen Danqing with the lives of Shen Zishan and dozens of people in the Shen family escort agency. Shen Danqing asked Prince Yi to release Shen Zishan, and she promised to brew the developing liquid for him. After Shen Danqing's research and development, she successfully produced the developing liquid for Prince Yi.

Shen Danqing handed the identity papers found in her father's room to Luo Xueer. It turned out that Luo Jida had long ago made plans for Luo Xueer, finding a death row inmate similar in build and appearance to her to accompany her in a ghost marriage ritual as a substitute, and then secretly sending Luo Xueer to an outer manor to change her identity.

Only now did Luo Xueer realize her father's painstaking efforts back then, yet she had killed her father with her own hands. Shen Danqing advised Luo Xueer to turn back from her misguided path and confess her guilt and submit to the law soon. Luo Xueer knew she could not turn back and was unwilling to admit her mistakes.
